The human mind is an amazing thing, capable of far more than we usually give it credit for. When a person seeks hypnotherapy they have in essence already decided the outcome they are after, or programmed their own mind to attain desired results. IE; someone has known for many years that they desire to become a non smoker. After many failed attempts finally see a hypnotist(consider going to one first!), they are READY for this change. This person desires to enter into a productive and relaxing trance state, and readily accepts all of the positive suggestions, or programming one might say, that they have actually instructed the hypnotist to use on them.

Now, we know that the person is probably paying something, desires change and is ready. In such a case there is likely little conscious resistance, and the hypnotist alleviates the unconscious resistance.

This is pretty easy to understand. The wildcard with the client is what is called their suggestibility. We are all very unique, and this also applies to our suggestibility. Some of us are analytical and detached from physical, some of us are dreamy, some of us enjoy escape, we trust or we don't, etc. What this means is we all go into hypnosis in different ways. Some of us go into a very light trance, some of us (especially people who walk in their sleep) are what are call somnambulists and may go very deep, and remember nothing. These people may even act out the suggestions, or scenes they imagine. However, ALL people enter a hypnotic state many times a day. Machines that measure brain waves proved this decades ago. ALL people are capable, if they desire, of entering a hypnotic state. Simply, and alpha or theta brainwave state.What is important to know her here, is that the client actually maintains control of their own mind regardless of their type of suggestibility.

The obvious question that would arise is "What about STAGE HYPNOSIS? I certainly do not want to be forced to quack like a duck in front of strangers!"

Well, this may be hard for many of us to understand but, some people DO want to do that!Let me elaborate. First, at every stage hypnosis show there are volunteers. (And, to be honest, that will never be me!) These people WANT to get onstage and act out in unknown ways. These are your classic exhibitionist entertainer types, (you know who you are…)Anyway, those people raise their hands, then the entertainer CAREFULLY tests people's aforementioned suggestibility. He or she finds the people who are most likely to become very willing, immersed, active and fun elements to the show. And these people are eager to play along. Make sense?

Stage hypnosis has been a blessing and a curse to hypnotherapy. On the positive side it shows the power of the human mind, and of hypnosis. On the down side us hypnotherapists must regularly allay people's fears of possible exploitation. Rest assured that hypnotherapy is just about the safest therapy one can experience. Find someone you feel comfortable with and you will be fine. It is NOT in my best interest to have anyone achieve less than stellar results. Remember, my reputation depends on your satisfaction. Many people say that all hypnosis is actually self hypnosis, meaning you must be involved. Since the days of Anton Mesmer in France millions of people have sought the highly effective help of hypnotists to support them in reaching their goals! I am deeply proud to be a part of this field and I can say that the peers I have are some of the most phenomenal, helpful and honest humans I have met.

The real thing to realize is the incredible power of the subconscious mind-it has an ability to reject or accept data. How do you choose to program you subconscious? With TV, ads and video games? Because by zoning out in front of this media you ARE saying YES to it saturating your mind. Or with a caring professional working just for you?! Take control of your mind.

Spa E’vie offers massage therapy that is relaxing and soothing just as it is effective and therapeutic.

A lot of times, I’ll ask my clients what their goal for the session is; are they looking for a relaxing, Swedish massage or are they needing more of a manual therapy, deep tissue feel. More likely than not, most people ask for a mix of both—this is where myofascial release as a treatment enters the picture.

Let’s talk about myofascial release for a minute. What does “myofascial’ even mean? How does it work? How does your therapist apply the treatment and have it be effective? First, I’m going to define fascia. Fascia is like a spider’s web—a dense, connective tissue that spans throughout the entire body. It is one continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption. This is why, as practitioners, we like to provide head to toe assessment and treatment because something that is “off” or painful in one part of the body may be reflecting from a whole different part of the body; as an example, low back pain can be caused from tightness in the glutes or even the hamstrings and quadriceps. Most times, the client will not even feel pain or tightness in the legs or glutes, but this could be where the real problem is, in turn, causing low back pain.

Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue. This modality can eliminate restrictions, decrease pain and restore motion. The therapist will stay in one place on the body until the fasica has been “smoothed” out or released. It can feel like the treatment is being applied to one spot for a while. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: which essentially means applying a low load (gentle pressure) slowly that will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate.

This treatment is great for any client that has tension, pain or limited range of motion. The application doesn’t feel as intense or invasive as deep tissue, but it is just as effective. Ask our therapists about Myofascial Release and how we can help you get control back of your body.

With summer coming just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about getting that sun kissed glowing complexion. We all want to look our summer best, but choosing the right path to the perfect tan can be daunting.

If you’re considering indoor tanning or spray tan there are some serious side effects to consider before deciding on the best solution for your bronzed complexion.

There are a lot of scary facts out there about the use of artificial tanning beds. For one, we’ve known for a long time it causes premature aging. Think about how your body is in a constant state of regenerating and replicating new cells. Tanned skin is dead, burnt skin, so the use of tanning beds leads to unhealthy regeneration causing premature signs of aging.

Tanning might seem like a quick and easy way to get that beautiful sun-kissed look, but the side effects are lifelong and dangerous. The Skin Cancer Foundation released updates stating that people who use tanning beds before the age of 35 increase their risk for melanoma skin cancer by 75%! In addition, a recent study found more skin cancer cases caused by indoor tanning then lung cancer caused by smoking. So, in the big picture, the side effects just aren’t worth it. (http://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/skin-cancer-facts)

​What about spray tanning?

Spray tanning has been touted as one of the safest and most effective sunless tanning treatments for years. While the side effects are not nearly as dramatic as indoor tanning, the downside to a spray tan is found in the inhalation of toxic fumes.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a key ingredient in giving you that golden glow. While it can be derived from natural ingredients, inhalation of this ingredient can result in genetic mutations and altered human DNA. This means DHA has the potential to cause lung cancer. In fact, spray tans are not cleared by the FDA. Use of DHA was approved back in the 1970s, but only in the form of lotions and creams where there was no risk of inhalation involved. (https://www.fda.gov/radiation-emittingproductsandprocedures/tanning/ucm116434.htm)So how do we get back to our beautiful tanned skin without aging ourselves, causing pigmentation issues or risking lung cancer? ​The St. Tropez Body Bronzing treatment!

Microcurrent facials are painless, safe and effective! There is no downtime whatsoever and no risk!

Did you know that every 28 days our cells shed and regenerate on the surface of our skin? Well at least when we are teenagers they do. But as we age, this process slows down. Our skin cell renewal time begins to deteriorate, making our cells less able to repair themselves. This is where a good facial regime becomes beneficial.The physical and chemical treatments that make up a facial such as enzymes, chemical peels, exfoliants, facial massage, nurture faster epidermal cell replication and renewal overtime when regularly impacted. Which ultimately means happier, healthier, more radiant skin.

So why do skin care experts always recommend a once a month routine facial?

Because every month facial treatments are speeding up your cell renewal time a little bit, so keeping to a once a month routine will begin to bring your skin back down to its original youthful 28 day cycle. In return, you will see signs of aging slow down.Along with speeding up your cell renewal time, facials provide a deep cleansing of the skin. Helping cleanse away any environmental aggressors, such as dirt and product, that might be building up dulling your otherwise radiant complexion. Leaving your skin feeling fresh, renewed and healthy.

Another advantage to sticking to a good facial routine is that your practitioner will become very familiar with your skin. They’ll recognize changes that may need to be addressed and they’ll know what products work synergistically with your skin type to get you the best possible results.​Plus, facials feel good! Take some time to relax and decompress, knowing that you are doing something beneficial for your health!

What is Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) also known as Micro-Needling?

By now I’m sure we’ve all heard how important collagen is for youthful looking complexion. Often, we find serums and moisturizers that are topically applied to help boost our collagen levels. While these are effective, the results are minimal and can take a long time to see. CIT is a solution that allows your skin to create its own collagen, by up to 400%.

​​You will see a reduction in scarring, pigmentation issues, and wrinkles over the course of your treatments and healthier, thicker skin within 6 months. CIT is even precise enough to allow us to work close to the delicate skin areas of the eyes and lips which are often overlooked.Unlike lasers and other advanced treatments, CIT does not use any heat. This means there is no risk of discoloration or scarring, making it safe for all skin types. CIT can even effectively address concerns like melasma and broken capillaries.There is also virtually zero downtime with this facial treatment. Skin will have a redness, like a sunburn, for 1-3 days after the treatment, with most people feeling comfortable being outside without any makeup after a day. How do you decide if Collagen Induction Therapy is right for you?This treatment is perfect for someone looking for a way to achieve skin that looks and acts more youthful but without harsh treatments and chemicals. At Spa E’vie our goal is to help you achieve the healthiest results, from the inside out, as naturally as possible.
